Beyonce’s new world tour, the Mrs. Carter Show, has been making a few waves since it kicked off on April 15 in Belgrade, Serbia.

The reasons are many. First up, the 31-year-old’s ultra-risque tour costumes. A crystal-studded bodysuit hand-painted complete with trompe l’oeil breasts and nipples comes to mind.

Secondly, Beyonce’s decision toban all professional photographers from her shows after being widely mocked when it was discovered that she had tried to pull unflattering Super Bowl pictures from the web. It became a bit of a thing.

Third, there was the curious rumor about the singer getting slapped in Serbia as she walked through the crowd. Turns out, it was just some over excited folk in the audience. But, more than a few people took notice.

The over 61-date tour will see Beyonce take in major arenas around the world, drop new tracks from her upcoming Pepsi backed album including new single “Grown Woman” and controversial teaser “Bow Down.”

After Europe and a festival dates, the North American leg of the tour starts on June 28 and will — fittingly — see the tour finish in husband Jay-Z’s home city and part owned venue, Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on August 5.

Anyway, Qeen Bey has decided to show civilians who haven’t had the chance to see her in action yet, a taste of what we’re missing.

The Houston native had released a video of her tour and — it has to be said — it looks amazing.

Imagine Donna Summer meets Xanadu meets Ziegfeld Follies and you’d have a close enough idea of Beyonce’s tour. You get the idea. The lady puts on a show.

The video features stunning stage outfits from a clutch of designers, hits galore and lots of punchy hand gestures.

But don’t take my word for it, judge for yourself and sound off below.

A Facebook post helped solve the decades old hit-and-run death of four-year-old Carolee Sadie Ashby. The young girl’s family spent 45 years wondering who was driving the car that fatally struck her.

Finally, a retired detective’s Facebook post helped authorities find the answer. They say that a man who misled them when questioned about the girl’s death in 1968 held the secret for more than four decades.

The driver of that car was Douglas Parkhurst, 62, or Oswego, New York. Authorities say Parkhurst failed to stop after hitting Carolee on a street in her upstate New York hometown Halloween night 1968.

Despite the fact that the statute of limitations to charge Parkhurst has expired, the young girl’s family finally has some closure. Carolee Ashby, her sister, and a cousin were returning from a neighborhood store where they just bought candles when the four-year-old was hit.

She was the only one injured and later passed away from those injuries. Authorities questioned Parkhurst at the time after they discovered he was in an accident that same night. But while the then-17-year-old confirmed the accident happened, he claimed it occurred in nearby Volney.

While police could not match the damage on his vehicle to a guard post he claimed to have hit, they did not question him again. Because of Parkhurst’s lie, the mystery continued for 45 years. Police continued to check out hundreds of leads and reopened the case in 2000.

Finally, they got a break early last year when retired Fulton police Lieutenant Russ Johnson posted details of the case on a local history Facebook page. A former resident of Fulton came forward with new information. She claimed that she was approached by a member of the Parkhurst family soon after the accident.

They tried to bribe her into saying she was with Parkhurst and his brother on Halloween night 1968. She refused and was never told why the family wanted her alibi. However, she assumed it was related to the hit and run death of Carolee Ashby. Because of the unidentified woman’s new information, investigators went to Parkhurst’s home to question him again.

He let investigators into his home several times. Over the course of the interviews, police learned that Parkhurst was drinking beer the night of the accident. He was driving through Fulton with his brother passed out in the backseat when he ran into something. Parkhurst told the investigators that he initially believed it to be an animal and left the scene.

Later on, he discovered it was little Carolee. He also admitted to lying to police when questioned in 1968 about the accident. While Parkhurst will never be charged in the hit and run death of Carolee Sadie Ashby, the young girl’s family can finally find peace knowing exactly what happened.

PlayStation 4 game developers are discussing the DualShock 4 controller.

Not having shown the actual PlayStation 4 console, Sony’s DualShock 4 controller is under hot discussion by developers. The item is what gamers will be holding in their hands when their games are released and being played, making the controller an important aspect of what could ultimately decide the fate of the PlayStation 4. Remember Dreamcast and the controller that was almost as big as the console itself? That’s the point.

One feature of the DualShock 4 controller under discussion is the Light Bar, which will supposedly tell the PlayStation 4 where you are so it will adjust the split screen accordingly in multiplayer local games. If you switch places with another player, it will switch the section of the screen you’re using. Here’s hoping nobody feels like messing with everybody else, running back and forth as they play.

Also under discussion is the multitouch Touchpad, which up to this point has been one of the advanced aspects of mobile gaming on smartphones. It might be used to zoom in on your target if you’re using a sniper rifle in Destiny, or help aim a remote control turret.

The built-in speaker for the PS4′s DualShock 4 controller may be used like a microphone to issue voice commands to an NPC ally (and here’s hoping the NPCs use an AI similar to BioShock Infinite), to tell them to duck, take cover, or cover you as you run in kamikaze style, yelling like Demolition Man.

The Share button could be a highly-used function, giving gamers bragging rights on PSN instead of having to just compare gamer scores and leader board positions. It’s why people watch the Super Bowl instead of just waiting for the final score. They want to see it happen, not hear about it later. Seeing that split-second drift finish in that racing game may just give you props enough to live on in infamy.

The video where developers discuss the DualShock 4 controller is above.

Edward Norton recently got into a small fight with an amateur photographer on Tuesday.

The actor was approached on the streets of New York by Alain Becerra-Calderon, a man who makes videos on YouTube. The problem started when the photographer asked Norton a question.

“I got a quick question. People say you look like me. Is that true?” the man asked.

Edward Norton responded with: “Why are you stalking me?” It was around this time that the Fight Club star shoved Becerra-Calderon’s camera phone away.

Alain later reported the so-called fight to police. He explained to authorities that he was forced to pay a visit to Beth Israel Hospital after the altercation took place. The photographer added that Norton’s behavior has caused a “tissue contusion” on his middle finger.

Since the incident was reported to police, officers decided to launch an investigation. However, the case was ultimately closed since authorities did not witness the exchange. The matter was referred to civil court.

“He went to the hospital claiming hand pain. It was classified as harassment,” a police spokesperson explained to E! Online.

Becerra-Calderon described his fight with Edward Norton as “very, very scary.” He said that the actor should “learn to control his temper.”

The photographer added, “I asked if I could ask a question, and he grabbed my phone.”

Although the matter has been referred to civil court, it’s unknown if the amateur photographer has filed a lawsuit against the actor. None of Norton’s representatives have commented on the scuffle as of this writing.

Edward Norton is currently filming Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s the comedy Birdman in New York City. The film also stars Emma Stone, Michael Keaton, Naomi Watts, and Zach Galifianakis. The actor recently completely production on Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel.

Melissa Gilbert has gone with a quick wedding, tying the knot with Timothy Busfield just a few months after the two got engaged.

The star of Season 14 of Dancing with the Stars got engaged to Busfield near the end of 2012 after an ongoing but not-always-romantic relationship.

“They got engaged over the holidays,” source told Us Weekly. “They’ve known each other for quite some time, as their paths have crossed off-and-on over the past 20 years.”

Melissa Gilbert had her wedding on April 24 in a private ceremony at San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, a source told People magazine.

It’s been a popular wedding venue in the past, serving as a setting for many Hollywood events and nuptials. In a photo from Melissa Gilbert’s wedding, the 48-year-old Little House on the Prairie actress was seen wearing a strapless red gown with a red and white bouquet.

“She looked simply stunning,” noted Reality TV Magazine.

Melissa Gilbert starred as Laura Ingalls Wilder on Little House on the Prairie for a decade stretching the 1970s and 80s. Gilbert has worked mostly in television since then, appearing in Babylon 5 and Touched By An Angel, but also has taken a leadership role in Hollywood. She was elected president of the Screen Actors Guild in 2001, serving two terms before stepping down in 2005.

Gilbert comes from a famous family. Her younger sister Sara is also an actress, playing Darlene on Roseanne. Sara herself recently got engaged to her girlfriend.

Busfield is best known for his role as Eliot Weston on Thirtysomething and his role as Danny Concannon on The West Wing.

This is the third wedding for both Melissa Gilbert and Timothy Busfield, who have each been wed and divorced twice before. Gilbert has two children, one each with ex-husbands Bo Brinkman and Bruce Boxleitner. Busfield has three children from his prior marriages.

A small dog survived six days locked in a car without food or water. Zipper the pug-beagle mix was discovered inside the vehicle in a Seattle parking lot on Sunday.

Security guards working in the area found Zipper frightened and shaking. With the help of local police, they were eventually able free him from the car. The guards gave the little dog some food and water before releasing him to the Seattle Animal Shelter.

As reported by KOMO News, the vehicle’s owner was not in the area. Guards recall that the car was sitting in the lot for at least six days.

Officers with the Seattle police department eventually located a man who was supposed to be caring for the dog, as his girlfriend was out-of-town.

The boyfriend has not been charged, as officers have not proven how long the dog was locked inside the car. If they can prove Zipper was in the car for six days, without food or water, the man could be charged with neglect.

Renee Witt of the Seattle police department stated that they will be discussing reasonable pet care with the boyfriend.

Food and water are not the only concerns for animals locked inside a car. Like people, dogs are also at risk of heat stroke. As discussed by Paw-Rescue.org, a car parked in direct sunlight on days that reach temperatures above 60 degrees can be dangerous for a dog. It only takes 15 minutes for a dog to overheat.

Experts point out that parking a car in the shade, or rolling down windows, might not be enough to keep temperatures safe inside the car. Additionally, a dog may escape or injure itself attempting to escape through an open window.

Dogs do not sweat like humans. Dogs only sweat through their paws and cool themselves by panting.

If a dog has experienced symptoms of heat exhaustion — which may include heavy panting, vomiting, lack of coordination, and restlessness — it needs to be taken to the vet immediately.

Luckily, Zipper did not experience a heat stroke or any other long-term illness as a result of being locked in the car for six days.

A 2-year-old Georgia boy was mauled to death by the family pit bull Wednesday afternoon, police said.

Fulton County Police Detective Melissa Parker told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the attack happened around 1 pm when Beau Rutledge’s mother had gone to use the restroom and left him alone with the dog. When she returned, her son was dead.

“She advised it happened fast,” Parker said. “It was an obvious death once the mother came out of the restroom.”

WSB-TV, an ABC Atlanta affiliate, reports that neighbors rushed out of their houses when they heard the toddler’s mother screaming.

“(She) said, ‘The dog attacked the baby. The dog killed the baby.’ That’s what I heard her say,” neighbor Joseph Messam said.

When first responders arrived at the family’s townhouse, they were too late to save the boy. Parker said some “were in tears.”

The family had owned the dog for eight years, according to the AJC. The dog was enclosed in the house 3 pm when Animal Control came and took it a shelter to “evaluate its health and temperament.” At this point in time, it is unclear if the dog will be put down.

Administrator for Fulton County animal services Oliver Delk said it was unknown what made the dog attack little Beau.

Neighbors said the family took good care of the pit bull and that the father could be seen walking it around the neighborhood every night. When the father returned home, police wouldn’t let him in the house, and he “lost control” and had to be subdued with a Taser.

Sadly, this isn’t the first time a child has been killed by a pit bull. Last month, 14-month-old Dax Bogart was killed when his babysitter’s two pit bulls attacked him. The babysitter tried to stop the attack, but she was too late. The dogs were later removed from the home and euthanized.

In Texas last September, newborn Rayden Eugene Bruce was mauled to death in his sleep by the family’s mixed breed pit bull. The dog was euthanized at the owner’s request.

Pit bulls tend to get a bum rap in the media, according to the ASPCA. A study conducted by the National Canine Research Council found that anti-pit bull bias is rampant, and that attacks involving other breeds are often underreported or not reported at all.

“Along with over-reporting, false reporting is a major contributor to the public relations nightmare currently facing pit bulls,” the ASPCA said. “There is an emerging tendency for all short-haired, stocky dogs to be called pit bulls—and when a dangerous dog’s breed is unknown, the media is not above assuming that the dog involved must have been a pit bull. The National Canine Resource Council terms this phenomenon ‘Everything is a pit bull, whether it is or not.’”

Do you think pit bulls are as dangerous as they are portrayed to be? Or are they unfairly targeted compared to other breeds?

John Adams was killed when Tennessee police raided the 61-year-old man’s house by accident, shooting him and handcuffing his wife.

Police were really looking for Adams’ next-door neighbor when they raided his house instead on Wednesday night. Police admitted the mistake, saying they got some bad information from a drug informant.

“We did the best surveillance we could do, and a mistake was made,” Lebanon Police Chief Billy Weeks said. “It’s a very severe mistake, a costly mistake. It makes us look at our own policies and procedures to make sure this never occurs again.”

But Weeks isn’t placing blame on the two officers who shot Adams. The officers, 25-year-old Kyle Shedran and 24-year-old Greg Day, have been placed on administrative leave with pay.

John Adams was at his home watching television when someone began pounding on his door. Police said they were wearing police jackets and identified themselves as officers, but Adams’ wife Loraine disputes their account of events.

“I thought it was a home invasion. I said ‘Baby, get your gun!,’ ” Loraine Adams told ABC News from her home as she prepared for her husband’s funeral.

That is just what John Adams did. After his wife’s warning, he retrieved a sawed-off shotgun to confront what he though were burglars. Police say he fired at them, and they responded with at least three shots of their own. Adams was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville where he later died.

In the confusion after the shooting, police handcuffed Loraine Adams and threw her to her knees.

“I said, ‘Y’all have got the wrong person, you’ve got the wrong place. What are you looking for?’ ” she recalled.

This is not the first case where police raided the wrong house. In August in Buffalo, New York, officers executed a search warrant on the wrong home and killed the owner’s black Labrador Retriever.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is looking into how police raided the wrong house and killed John Adams. NAACP officials are also monitoring the case, but the Adams family said they don’t believe race was a factor. Adams was black, and the two officers are white.

Jonathan Broyhill was arrested this week for allegedly stabbing Jamie Hahn to death at her home in North Carolina. Broyhill served as the best man at Hahn’s wedding in 2009, and many people speculated that the former best man fatally stabbed the bride due to some torrid love triangle.

But that may not be the case.

Police have not publicly determined the motive behind Broyhill’s alleged fatal attack, but police did say that they do not believe that the stabbing was “domestic related.” In other words, police do not think that the murder was related to a secret love affair.

So what caused the former best man to snap and fatally stab his best friend’s bride?

WRAL reports that the motive may have had something to do with money.

Jamie Hahn was a well known political fundraiser in North Carolina. Her firm, Sky Blue Strategies, raised money for North Carolina non-profits as well as political campaigns. Broyhill was in charge of keeping the books for the firm.

Sky Blue helped raise money for the North Carolina Democratic Party, the Coalition to Protect All NC Families, and Equality North Carolina as well as politicians like Bob Etheridge and former Rep. Brad Miller.

Miller told ABC that he recently received a letter from the Federal Elections Commission about five donors who did not receive a refund for their 2010 campaign contributions. Miller said that Broyhill would have received that letter but that Broyhill never said anything about it.

Miller said: “The FEC did send a letter that I just found out about today and the letter was to John Wallace, the campaign treasurer, and he just found out about it today he told me … It doesn’t appear that there was an immediate argument or confrontation but this may have been in the background … It certainly may be that Jon was aware that he was about to be caught.”

Police do not know if money caused the best man to fatally stabbed his best friend’s bride. All they’ve said so far was that the murder was not “domestic related.”

Harmony Korine’s Spring Breakers is coming to Blu-ray and DVD this summer.

The director’s acclaimed drama finds a group of teenage vacationers embarking on a crime spree after hooking up with a gangster named Alien (James Franco). Although Korine has made a number of films over the years, his latest effort was considered by many to be his most accessible effort to-date.

In a brilliant stroke of casting, Harmony Korine was able to convince family-friendly actresses Selena Gomez (Wizards of Waverly Place) and Vanessa Hudgens (High School Musical) to star in a very raunchy R-rated flick. The gamble payed off, as the movie became one of the year’s high-grossing indie flicks.

The $5 million dollar feature managed to bring in an impressive $13.8 million in only a handful of theaters across the country. The movie stands to make even more money once it finds its way onto home video.

The film has been described as follows:

“Brit, Candy, Cotty, and Faith have been best friends since grade school. They live together in a boring college dorm and are hungry for adventure. All they have to do is save enough money for spring break to get their shot at having some real fun. A serendipitous encounter with rapper “Alien” promises to provide the girls with all the thrill and excitement they could hope for. With the encouragement of their new friend, it soon becomes unclear how far the girls are willing to go to experience a spring break they will never forget.”

Since Spring Breakers was only available in select markets during its theatrical run, many people didn’t get an opportunity to catch the film in cinemas. Those folks who missed it will be able to finally see the Korine’s controversial crime drama this July.

Both the Blu-ray and DVD release of the flick will contain a host of extras. Included in the bonus features are deleted scenes, featurettes, trailers, and a three-part documentary chronicling the creation of Korine’s latest effort. Both discs will also include commentary from the director.

Spring Breakers will be available for purchasing on July 9. Are you planning to pick up a copy on Blu-ray or DVD this summer?

Carrie Underwood isn’t happy with the Tennessee Ag-Gag bill, and she has taken to Twitter in an attempt to confront lawmakers in the state.

Underwood, an animal rights activist, is upset that the bill would require journalists and other organizations to report all cases of animal abuse within 48-hours. Opponents of the bill claim that reporters will not have enough time to effectively gather evidence and document it correctly.

The Ag-Gag bill was recently passed by Tennessee’s House and Senate and is now just awaiting the signature of state Governor Bill Haslam.

When Carrie Underwood learned of the bills passing vote she tweeted:

“Shame on TN lawmakers for passing the Ag-Gag bill … If Gov. Haslam signs this, he needs to expect me at his front door. Who’s with me?”

After her comment Tennessee representative, Andy Holt responded with the following tweet:

“I think Carrie should stick to singing country music and I’ll stick to lawmaking.”

Following that message, Underwood continued on the offensive, tweeting the following message:

I should stick to singing? Wow…sorry, I’m just a tax paying citizen concerned for the safety of my family. #NoAgGag wsmv.com/story/22027811…

— Carrie Underwood (@carrieunderwood) April 20, 2013

Following along with her threat, Representative Holt tweeted a response by noting, “I work for the people of Tennessee and Carrie Underwood, being an individual who lives in the state of Tennessee, I work for her as well.”

Carrie Underwood is passionate about her hatred for the Ag-Gag bill. This is likely not the last we have heard from her on the issue.

iTunes has been around for 10 years and will need a few things to make it another 10 years.

Apple’s media hub iTunes started out as little more than something you used to load your iPod, making it a simple bridge. After ten years, it’s gotten more complicated with videos, audiobooks, and a music store, and, at one point, it even messed with your music collection if you didn’t buy it from Apple.

In short, iTunes has become just another online store we could care less about. Apple’s iPod bridge is now carrying too much traffic.

iTunes needs to be re-simplified. Make some other software to handle the store, videos, audiobooks, and the digital kitchen sink, and let iTunes just handle music and photos. We don’t need extra apps to handle other things just to load our iPods. Some of us bought the iPod Shuffle and don’t feel the need to have a media hub just to put a day’s worth of music on something smaller than a smartphone.

The iTunes cloud was a nice idea, a backup for the music on your computer. However, streaming music has become too much of a side quest rather than something you want. iTunes Match has a subscription fee, where other apps on your smartphone, such as Pandora and Spotify, let you listen to music for free, although extra features or elimination of advertising will still cost you. Streaming music doesn’t need to be that complicated or pricey.

Syncing iTunes with your music collection can be a headache when you have an extensive collection. Sometimes we don’t want to sync the entire batch. Sometimes we just want a small percentage of what we have available, and we don’t want to have to go and uncheck every single song we didn’t want on the iPod in the first place.  And let us know when the song is no longer there instead of giving us false hope trying to play or load it.

Streaming new music free isn’t something we want to navigate a labyrinth of menus to accomplish. If it’s available, give us a notification tab and let us skip right to it.

All in all, follow the old rule and keep it simple.

Is Jennifer Love Hewitt coming to the X Factor? Simon Cowell is looking to fill the chairs vacated by L.A. Reid and Britney Spears and is reportedly taking a good look at Hewitt.

A source told US Weekly that “Simon is very interested” in casting the I Know What You Did Last Summer star.

Of course, it’s not a done deal yet. The show is also reportedly looking at Reba McEntire and Kelly Rowland to join the show.

The X Factor has had a steady stream of judges moving in and out of the show since it debuted two season ago. After the first season, Cowell fired Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger. At the end of season two, LA Reid and Britney Spears announced that they’d be leaving the show.

It was also recently announced that Khloe Kardashian would not be returning as the host for season three.

Demi Lovato will be returning for season three but Cowell still has a few chairs to fill.

Do you think Jennifer Love Hewitt would make a good judge on The X Factor?

A rep for the show said that the Hewitt rumors are “purely speculation” at this point so don’t get too excited to see the The Client List star every week on the talent show.

Who do you think should join Cowell and Lovato on The X Factor next season.

Talk show host Jenny McCarthy is on the prowl, and admitted in a recent interview that she’s going to use her new VH1 program to find a new man.

McCarthy has said on multiple occasions that her busy work schedule and responsibilities to her son make it hard to find time to date, though she has tried everything from fix-ups to blind dates to … online dating.

But why not mix business with pleasure? McCarthy tells People: “I’m hoping to meet some on my talk show,” continuing, ”I keep telling my producers to books some cute, heterosexual single men.”

The 40-year-old former Playboy cover girl has been single since splitting with Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher last August, and said that her last date night was with her 10-year-old son, Evan.

Living in Chicago and commuting to New York for work doesn’t leave time for much of anything, she says.

“Any days off I’m with my son, so I feel I really want to put myself on hold,” she said, though added that she might have more time when her son “wants his girlfriends more than me.”

Still, she does miss dating. “I miss the romance,” she said. “I miss the cuddling.”

Hence booking single guys on her talk show, a suggestion that came from friend and fellow talk show host Chelsea Handler. “She told me book who you want to date,” McCarthy said of Handler’s advice to her.

No luck so far, though. ”Time and time again we’re not getting them,” McCarthy said.

The suspected Boston bombers had a Times Square plan to bring even more destruction after killing three people and injuring close to 180 at Boston Marathon.

The bombers’ Times Square Plan was revealed through investigations in recent days, with New York investigators unveiling about the Tsarnaev brothers’ plot to blow up their remaining explosives in the Big Apple.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his brother Dzhokhar reportedly came up with the plan to drive to Times Square on Thursday, coming with it after federal investigators had released pictures of the suspects from the scene of the April 15 bombing at the Boston Marathon.

It was later that night that the brothers shot and killed Massachusetts Institute of Technology officer Sean Collier, setting off a gun battle with Boston police in Watertown that left Tamerlan dead and Dzhokhar on the run. He was found later on Friday hiding in a boat in a Watertown backyard.

Dzhokhar has since recovered from his injuries during the standoff and began talking to police officers, offering details of the bombers’ Times Square plan. After initially claiming he was going to travel to New York to party, Dzhokhar reportedly admitted that he and his brother were planning an attack.

New York Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said the bombers’ Times Square plan was not originally part of their plot but that they “decided spontaneously” on New York as a target after hijacking a Mercedes on Thursday night.

A witness reportedly told police that, after hijacking the car, Tamerlan Tstarnaev said, “We just killed a cop. We blew up the Marathon. And now we’re going to New York. Don’t [expletive] with us.”

The bombers’ Times Square plan could have been destructive, police said. The brothers had an arsenal that included six bombs — five pipe bombs and one pressure cooker bomb like those used in the attack on the Boston Marathon.

George W. Bush shed a few tears today during the dedication of his new presidential library.

Bush was joined today by President Obama, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, and his father George H.W. Bush in front of the George W. Bush Presidential Library in Dallas, Texas.

President Obama — as well as former presidents Clinton, Carter, and H.W. Bush — took the stage to honor George W. during the dedication ceremony. The former presidents praised Bush for trying to “reach across the aisle” during his presidency. Bush was also complimented for facing the “storm of 911″ head on.

Carter said: “Mr. President let me say that I am filled with admiration for you and deep gratitude for you about the great contributions you’ve made to the most needy people on earth.”

When it was Bush’s turn to speak, he thanked the former presidents and their wives for coming and then began talking about his 8 years as president and the future of America.

Bush started to tear up at the end of his speech, saying: “Franklin Roosevelt described the dedication the libraries an act of faith. I dedicate this library with an unshakable faith in the future of our country. It was the honor of a lifetime to lead a country as brave and as noble as the United States. Whatever challenges come before us I will always believe that our nation’s best days lie ahead. God bless.”

Here’s the video of Bush’s speech today at his Library dedication.

Should Jeb Bush run for president in 2016? If your first thought was “we’ve had enough Bushes,” you’ve got a lot in common with family matriarch Barbara Bush.

During a Thursday interview with Matt Lauer on TODAY, Barbara Bush, wife to George H.W. Bush (AKA – Bush I), said that she thinks her family has had their turn in the White House. While son and former Florida governor Jeb Bush is still mulling a potential run in 2016, Babs thinks that her family should get out of the way and let someone else have a go.

“There are other people out there that are very qualified, and we’ve had enough Bushes,” she told Lauer.

“It’s a great country. There are a lot of great families and it’s not just four families,” she said. Barbara was quick to add of Jeb that: “He’s the most qualified, but I don’t think he’ll run.”

Barbara Bush was seated in the George W. Bush Presidential Library in Dallas with two other generations of Bush women. Speaking on her father’s legacy, new mom Jenna Bush Hager gushed: “We’re so proud of him.”

“We walk into this museum, and you see baby pictures of us with him. That’s how we see him, of course, but more than that, we’re proud of his service to our country and everything he did,” she said.

Babs also said that her husband will attend the Thursday dedication of the center, despite recent health problems.

“It’s just the darn legs won’t work, but other than that, he’s perfect,” Barbara said. “He’s sweet and loving and it must be frustrating for him.”
